Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1346650A1] In a process to convert food ingredients into puree form containing more than 45 per cent by weight water, the ingredients are surrendered or forced through a combined mincing/cooker/extruding first-stage assembly. The cooking action takes place either before, during or after the mincing process. Liberated fluid is drained from the extruder and is subsequently admixed to the puree after a further process. In the second-stage process, the minced and cooked ingredients are surrendered to a further extrusion process in which they are subjected to temperature treatment under ultra-high temperature conditions or Pasteurisation. The heat-treated substance is then de-gassed and fed directly to a packing station under aseptic conditions. The primary incoming ingredients are diced, grated or ground.
